Jeanne Lanvin's Library


Call me a nerd, but few things make me happier then very old books.  Look and smell of them, the old english...  and the binding and pages... wow. They're like works of art and a piece of history all on their own.  I have stacks of old books in my room and I love looking at them and carefully thumbing through their fragile yellow pages. 
I was happy to find these pics of Jeanne Lanvin's library on The Selby! Gorgeous books.  I can't even begin to image what's inside them (but I wish I knew!).
